[HOWTO] Securing ftp server with encryption

You have to tell Filezilla to use TLS. For example, on mine (could be a little older than Windows vesions) under encryption, below protocol (when creating a new site via site manager in menu File) choose “Use Explicit FTP over TLS if available” option.

did you restart the server or the mycloud?#

if you try to conenct as normal ftp it will fail.

quick test with command line ftp which does not have encryption should give you the following error.
